Mr. Tang shook his head and said: "Tingdong, don't belittle yourself. It's rare for you to be so magnanimous at such a young age, not afraid of power, and brave enough to do what is right. It suits my old man's temper. To be honest, I'm not a stickler for old times. I know.

The reason why you are looking for me is that I am indeed old, already seventy-one years old, and I am no longer able to carry out the task of teaching disciples again.

"In addition, I am also a little sad. Today's children are becoming more and more utilitarian. Sometimes they come to me not to learn painting, but to support my false reputation. Tang Yao lived for more than seventy years and was more or less famous. Some were not.

The highly motivated students are trying to use my reputation as a disciple to deceive others.

"Furthermore, in order to resist those unlearned and unskilled people, I offended many people, including some powerful people, so I simply refused to accept anyone who came to me.

However, Tingdong and I really hit it off today. His character of contempt for powerful people is exactly the same as mine when I was young. Moreover, I think this girl has a dignified expression and is not a flashy person, so I will make an exception and promise you to come over some time.

I can help this child with guidance, and forget about the master-disciple status.

"If you are here for study, it doesn't matter whether you want the status or not. If you are here for the status, I don't want to give it. So, think about it, what do you think of this method?"

It was also a blessing to the soul. After listening to Mr. Tang's words, Yumeng immediately stood up and faced Mr. Tang, bowed deeply before Tingdong could say anything, and then said: "Mr. Tang, since you agreed to teach Yumeng,

Even for a day, he was Yumeng's mentor, and Yumeng would never forget his kindness throughout his life.

"However, since the teacher has taught me clearly, Yumeng will never dare to present herself as a disciple to the outside world without the teacher's permission. Please ask the teacher for a clear warning."

Tang Yao was stunned for a moment, but before he could say anything, Tingdong stood up first, bowed to the old gentleman, and said, "Tingdong is willing to use his personality to guarantee that Yumeng will keep his promise."

Chang Jian also stood up and bowed to the end: "Teacher, Chang Jian is also willing to guarantee it."

Mr. Tang smiled: "You guys, this is unnecessary. If Yumeng is a trustworthy person, why do you need to guarantee it? If Yumeng is a trustworthy person, what is the use of your guarantee? Hahaha!"

Mr. Tang laughed heartily a few times, and then continued, "I think this child Yumeng is a man of integrity and clear eyes. He is a man of his word. As for you, we will treat him as master and disciple internally, but will not make it public for the time being. How about that?"

Yu Meng quickly bowed again and said, "Thank you so much, Master!"

Seeing this scene, Tingdong suddenly remembered something and said to Yu Meng, "You should reveal your identity to your mentor."

Yu Meng was startled for a moment.

Tingdong said: "Yu Meng, why do you hide your identity on weekdays? What is your purpose of revealing your identity to Master now? Think about it carefully?"

Yumeng tilted her head and thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I concealed my identity because I hated those people surrounding me. Now I reveal my identity to Master out of respect for Master. However, Master himself is indifferent to fame and fortune. He has never

I don’t know how to attach myself to the powerful, I’m afraid, I’m afraid…”

Tingdong shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, Yu Meng, even if Master really doesn't want you anymore, you still have to say it. Do you understand?"

Yu Meng stood up and said firmly, "To respect Master, you must not lie to him first, but tell the truth. Master, Yu Meng must tell you my life experience first. I hope you will not let me go."

Mr. Tang smiled slightly and said: "Master believes in you, and you should also believe in Master. Since Master has promised you, no matter you are a royal princess or a beggar's daughter, you are my disciple. And Master has promised you that as long as Master approves you,

You are here to learn painting, so I will announce to the public that you are my close disciple."

Yu Meng nodded and said: "Thank you, teacher. Over the years, Yu Meng has not dared to reveal her family members because of her special status, and she has always been troubled. Only Ting Dong and a few good friends can get along with each other sincerely. That was because of the accident last time.

, I made these brothers and sisters, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to Jiangcheng from Dalian.

"Teacher, do you know Yang Hongan?"

Tang Yao was stunned and murmured: "Yang Hong'an? Are you talking about the legendary general Yang Hong'an?"

Yumeng nodded.

Tang Yao smiled: "There are probably not many people in the country who don't know about him. Your teacher is not someone who immerses himself in his studies and doesn't care about worldly affairs. How could he not know about General Yang? He is one of the few people worthy of respect.

one.

"When the country and the nation were in danger, he still led his troops to the battlefield regardless of the opposition of some people. When individual leaders fell into blind arrogance and imagination, he could plead for the people and dare to tell the truth. He was firm and iron-clad.

Bones can be expressed in days and days.

"That is a role model for our generation. To be honest with you, I once made a painting with him as the subject, which was also the only character painting. However, since I have never seen him in person, I can only ask for a spiritual resemblance! Haha."

Tang Yao was so excited that he forgot the purpose of Yumeng's question. He remembered it at this moment, looked at Yumeng and said: "My child, why did you suddenly mention General Yang? Wait, Yang Hong'an, Yang Yumeng? Could it be that you and General Yang have something to do with each other?

Related?”

Yumeng nodded nervously and said, "Yes, teacher, I am his granddaughter. My father, Yang Enwei, is his eldest son and is currently serving in the military. Please keep this secret for me, teacher."

"Are you really a descendant of General Yang?" Tang Yao looked at Yu Meng in disbelief.

Chang Jian took over the conversation at the right time: "Yes, teacher, she is indeed the granddaughter of General Yang. In the spring, she came to Jiangcheng without telling her family to visit her uncle Yang Enping, who was the chief of staff of the security division at the time. Unfortunately, she was killed on the train.

Guan Dajun was knocked unconscious with drugs and hijacked, but fortunately he was rescued by Tingdong.

"Because Yumeng was physically weak since she was a child and had less contact with her peers, her few days of contact with Tingdong and his friends formed a deep friendship between them, so Yumeng discussed it with her parents and grandfather.

After studying in Jiangcheng, he lived with a female classmate from Tingdong.

"Because she has loved painting since she was a child, Tingdong vowed to find the best teacher in Jiangcheng City for her, so he tried his best to get your guidance."

Tang Yao sighed, waved his hand and said: "Sit down, children, sit down. I am very happy today. Boss, make me a pot of wine, get me a plate of peanuts, pat a cucumber, I want to take a few sips, fate, fate!"

It is my old man's honor to be able to teach General Yang's descendants how to paint.

"Children, I am not noble, I am not proud, and I don't seek fame and fame. I just do what I want. If I like it, I like it, and if I don't like it, I don't like it. My wife and I came from humble backgrounds, and we lived a life without a lot of money.

, so the requirements in life are not high. This is not something we deliberately pursue, but something we like.

"It's not that I don't like the rich and powerful by nature, it's also by nature, because there is really nothing I like about them. Apart from showing off their wealth and power, they don't do anything else, because those things have penetrated into their bones.

It will be revealed every time, so I hate them.

"Of course, I think it's not that all officials are so hateful. It's just that I don't have the chance to meet anyone I like, right?"

Tingdong smiled: "Mr. Tang, do you think Chang Jian is disgusting?"

Tang Yao shook his head and said: "He doesn't count. He was a student and later a teacher. Although he is now working in the Municipal Youth League Committee, he is not considered a bureaucrat."

Tingdong shook his head and said: "You are wrong, Mr. Tang. He is an official now. He is a real official at the deputy division level. Below him is the deputy county magistrate, deputy district magistrate, deputy director, and deputy secretary. Why?

Don't you think he's disgusting?

"Because you are familiar with him and have feelings for each other. Of course, it is also related to his personal qualities and his conscience. It is not because of his low rank, nor because he was born as a student or teacher.

"There are many officials who are students and teachers. When they were students and teachers, they criticized corruption, corruption, and unhealthy trends more harshly than anyone else. However, when they become officials, they are more corrupt than anyone else. This is personal

Determined by quality and conscience.

"Of course, I think the more important thing is that the social supervision mechanism, restriction mechanism and distribution mechanism are not perfect enough, and the culture of the entire nation has been destroyed. These are the reasons why some officials are disgusting. I think the current situation has basically developed to

It's the worst, but it will gradually get better in the future.

"Our nation has always had many officials who prayed for the people and cared about the sufferings of the people, such as Li Bing who managed the floods in Sichuan, Du Gongbu who "protected the poor people all over the world with joy", Bai Juyi who "thought of it privately" and Hai

Rui and other officials, are they disgusting? Do you dislike them?

"The answer is no, so I am not a pessimist. I am full of hope for the future. Of course, I will not sit and wait for that day to come. I will use my own way and my rights as a citizen to eliminate those who have violated the law."

The unscrupulous officials who benefited from me were pulled down, and the nouveau riche who used unfair means to amass wealth were thrown into hell.

"With one less of these two scum, the world will be cleaner. I believe there will be more and more people like me, and slowly those people will no longer have a foothold."

Tang Yao stood up, held tightly the hands of Tingdong who also stood up at the same time, and said excitedly: "Little friend Tingdong, live and learn. Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading.

Taught.

"Lao Chen's original principle is to be alone and not to join in with others. It seems that this is not enough. To be born in the world and to join the world is the highest state of a literati. Although Lao Chen is old, he will still do his part to promote the culture of his ancestors and promote the righteousness of society in the future.

Use your strength to shine."

Tingdong blushed and said, "You have nothing to do with me. I am so young and frivolous that I am so young and frivolous in front of your old man on a whim. Mr. Tang, please don't blame me."

Mr. Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. It's really extraordinary for a young man to have such knowledge. No wonder Chang Jian always praises you as a recommender, but doesn't mention much about my students. I guess he is also right."
